YouTube




1)  The Art of Aaron Blaise  by artist Aaron Blaise

This is one  my  art favorite  channels. Being wildlife lover myself , I enjoy how he adds character and personality  to his wildlife artworks. If you are interested  in Animation then this is the right channel  for you. I personally like the live demo sessions because  I can draw along and learn a technique or two. Some of the mediums that the artist uses are Photoshop/Digital painting , Watercolor, and other media.

This channel  is for artists  who are interested  in  concept art/character art, Illustration , plein - air art, drawing animals in watercolors, oil and other media and art students who are interested in learning how to draw and paint. This is my favorite  channel  because  every time I watch this channel I learn something  new. 


3) Lachri Fine Art by artist  Lisa Clough

This channel  is for artists from a professional  artist. She mostly  does wildlife paintings in a variety  of mediums such as Colored pencils, Acrylics , Inktense, Oil, Markers and a variety  of other mediums.
